King for a Week – Irish Calvinist

Articles Collection cover image

King for a Week is an honor I bestow on blogs that I feel are making a valuable contribution to my faith and the faith of other believers. Every week (or two) I select a blog, link to it from my site, and add that site’s most recent headlines to my right sidebar. While this is really not much, I do feel that it allows me to encourage and support other bloggers while making my readers aware of other good sites.

This week’s recipient of the award is Irish Calvinist, the site of Erik Raymond. Erik hails from Omaha, Nebraska where he serves as a pastor at Omaha Bible Church. According to Raymond his site “aims to aid us in becoming more impressed with Jesus by promoting and defending the glory of God.” He says his goal is “to promote and defend the glory of God, in so doing I am trying to coral Christ centered thoughts and organize and articulate them in an edifying manner.” I think it must have been about a year ago (or close to it) that I first came across Erik’s site. Since then I’ve returned often and, several months ago made it a near-daily read. And now I commend it to you.

In the coming days you will be able to see the most recent headlines from this blog in the sidebar of my site. I hope you will make your way over the site and look around.

I continue to accept nominations for King of the Week. If you have a site you would like to nominate, feel free to do so. Thanks to those of you who nominated this week’s honoree.

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.
